I Do Believe

Steven Curtis Chapman


Mark 9:24 / Jn. 20:29-31 

Sitting in a traffic jam 11:52 p.m. 
Just a few miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio 
I take my pen and start to write 
The thoughts that fill my head tonight 
Nothing terribly profound 
Just these simple words 
That keep my heart anchored down 
That keep my restless heart anchored down 

I do, I do, I do, I do believe 
I know, I know, I know, I know it's true, yeah 
I do, I do, I do, I do believe 
Lord, I believe in You 
I believe in You 

Now these can be confusing times 
The skeptics posing as the wise 
It's hard to see the light 
Through all the shadows of the doubt 
But You keep saying all the while 
It takes the vision of a child 
Looking through the eyes of faith to see reality 
So once again I will say 
I believe You're the life 
You're the truth, You're the way 

If this faith in You is blind 
It's not to anything that's true 
'Cause Your love opens up my eyes 
To see that everything I need 
Is found when I believe in You, yeah
